Biography

As a Solutions-driven Environmental Engineer/Scientist with over 4 years of experience under the supervision of a Professional Engineer (PE), I specialize in emerging contaminant remediation. I have a proven track record of successfully leading multi-disciplinary teams in research projects funded by federal agencies (such as EPA, DoD, DoE, NSF, and USGS), resulting in impactful solutions for PFAS chemicals removal and remediation in drinking water, wastewater, soil, and spent adsorbents. As a collaborative team player, I effectively work with local, national, and global technical teams to ensure a seamless workflow prioritizing safety, sustainability, and environmental compliance. I am passionate about utilizing cost-effective and clean technologies to remove contaminants from the environment and potentially disrupt the contamination cycle. Additionally, I have authored over 10 technical research papers published in reputable journal publications and delivered presentations on various environmental and remediation projects at national and international conferences, catering to diverse audiences with varying backgrounds and expertise.
